The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria is
pleased to offer the following 6-day immersion course Heritage Area
Conservation: Revitalizing the Downtown Core for professionals in museums,
heritage planning and related organizations.


Heritage Area Conservation: Revitalizing the Downtown Core

The 17th century Muslim District in Xi'an, China is worlds and centuries
apart from Vancouver's 19th century Gastown or Port Townsend in Washington
State, yet these heritage areas share many similarities in how they are
conserved and managed.

This course explores how such urban commercial cores, large and small, are
evaluated, conserved, and revitalized in the context of community values and
social and economic development priorities. Through discussions, field
visits, and case studies that emphasize strategic approaches to downtown
revitalization, you strengthen your ability to:

        *       identify and evaluate the issues facing traditional downtown
areas from conservation, economic, social and tourism perspectives
        *       analyze downtown preservation issues and priorities
        *       select a downtown revitalization approach that respects
conservation and compliments community goals
        *       build legal, community and management frameworks to ensure
sustainability
        *       address associated issues in economic and tourism
development, promotion, and interpretation
        *       utilize effective tools for dealing with increased density
within heritage areas

Susan Kempf, coordinator of the Washington State Main Street Program will
provide focus on the ways in which the national Trust for Historic
Preservation's Main Street philosophy and Four point Approach (organization,
promotion, design and economic restructuring) is helping bring new life to
traditional downtown areas.

Instructor: Robert Lemon is an architect and heritage consultant with twenty
years of experience in heritage conservation in British Columbia
